It’s just the flu, bro.
This is turning more and more into a freedom issue. This state of emergency is exactly what the far left wants - disrupt and destroy capitalism and replace with socialist utopia.
Quarantining sick people is a legitimate thing to do to sick and contagious people. It has been done in the past in the USA and in other countries. Quarantining healthy people is a new concept that destroys freedom. To those with health conditions and who have a legitimate fear of CV (or any flu) - it is your responsibility to protect yourself. The misery of quantine does not need to extend to the productive.
Which New England state is it that has the motto “Live Free or Die”? Do those words mean anything?

Ping. Freepmail Impimp to go on ping list.
Any sniffles or even worse a resurgence of the Kung Flu will be met with fierce “I told you so” not by the usual suspects but the same people who wave the (now meaningless) Gadsden Flag!
Brother against Brother, Kids against Parents, Neighbor against Neighbor...
Divides will be created, solidified, & inflamed.
Flu Cucks Klan folks are late today.
Another day, another half a trillion shit out of the DC goose in response to the hoaxdemic.
You are right about divides. My issue is not with those who have conditions that make them vulnerable. It is with the government who forces protection upon them, when they may not want it. There are many Freepers with health conditions who do NOT want the lockdown.
+2304
50,000+ dead.
“...the hoaxdemic...”
I like that. Word of the day, and will use it in conversation everywhere I go today.
Woof, Dawg Brother...
Honsest question:
If the vaccine for cowpox innoculates you to smallpox, what would being vaccinated for SARS (CoV-1) do for an individual in the current SARS-CoV-2 pandamic?
Do we know the answer to that question?
Grr... “pandamic” s/b “pandemic.”
We must open up immediately or we’re going to have a great depression. Remember that this was posted today, 4-24-2020.
“...Quarantining healthy people is a new concept that...”
...that democrats developed to help fraud an election, to keep the President’s numbers down, to shut down his rallies which are a clear, visual, and highly visible indicator of the support that he enjoys while THEIR candidate stumbles and drools through teleprompter scripts that he STILL f*cks up.
There. Finished it for ya...
They’re willing to destroy peoples’ livelihoods so they can seize control of the country and start the Bolshevik 2.0 Dance Party.
Call it what it is - Plan x, or y, or z after all the other failures to take this man out.
Sure. There IS a medical condition going on; but they are jumping on it and creating a “crisis” in an exercise of power to see how far they can push us.
Woofin on!!!
Of course, I don’t think it would do anything for someone already infected with SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19 or “Rona”). But wouldn’t it offer some level of innoculation or protection to someone not yet infected with Covid-19? If not, why not?
the bros with the bras will tell you that the 50,000+ dead are fake news and all made up
For discussion:
During a pandemic of respiratory virus, who should wear a mask, outside their home,over their mouth and nose and why?
Do you wear a mask outside your home?
Why?
How about Plan 9"
“Plan 9 From Outer Space...”
Probably THE worse movie ever made... :^)
Right up there with “Attack of the Killer Tomatoes” and “Basket Case”...
Oops, Plan 9?
We have a disease either newly mutated from nature or specifically cooked by our "friends" the Chinese that is loose amongst us.
It isn't the flu, bro: it is much more effectively infectious at greater distances and with only the lightest of contact among people. It doesn't kill all of its hosts making it much more effective that say, Ebola, which kills almost a 100% of the infected, which allows it to keep going to infect more.
The only possible defense against it is isolation and hopefully, vaccination - but remember, some viruses defy any attempt at finding a vaccine and all viruses mutate.
Which brings us to the issue of freedom: every one of us would fight to the death to overturn an overreaching, unconstitutional government EXCEPT when we, the governed recognize a natural and temporary emergency. You, know, like WWII or Hurricane Katrina, when a threat had to be stopped and it was going to take individual sacrifices to beat a common enemy. The trick is to reestablish freedoms after the threat is beaten, not throw our hands up and run around bellowing about lost freedoms - and then further spreading the disease.
At 50,000 known dead (but nobody you know) in a little over a month, it ain't the flu, Bro. We have to get our act together and beat it.
